Student Ministries

Our purpose is to develop ICS students in relationships—relationships with one another, relationships with mentors and especially their relationships with God. In order to foster spiritual growth, we seek to provide opportunities to develop relationships through interaction, instruction, and personal reflection.

Secondary School Student Ministries

Chapel & Homerooms
Both middle and high school students participate in chapel and homeroom each week. During homeroom students participate in discussion and activities that relate to the topic presented in chapel as well as relationship-building and academic accountability.

TripleT
Once a year, the topics of truth, temptation and transformation are addressed through seminars offered for secondary students within the school day.

LifeGroups
Both middle and high school students are invited to be a part of weekly discipleship groups. Small groups of students generally meet on Tuesday from 2:30-3:30 p.m. to discuss life from a Christian perspective. It is a safe place where students can be honest with their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment, led by trusted adults within our ICS family.

Friday Events
All secondary students have opportunities to participate in Friday Night events provided by our student ministry departments.  Events range from Friday Night Fellowships where students learn about relevant topics from a biblical perspective to nights focused on worship and prayer.  Other fun-based events are also provided throughout the year with the purpose of fellowship within our ICS secondary community. 

Leadership Teams
Many events within the Student Ministries are student-led or have students who are heavily involved.  These students are Christians who are trained and discipled to be Christ-like servants within ICS.  Applications for our Student Ministry Team are taken toward the end of each school year. 

Retreats
Annually, all secondary students are invited to participate in our weekend Eagles Camp (high school) and Ignite Camp (middle school) away from the school campus. Students have an opportunity to reflect, be refreshed, and reunite with peers.

Student Council
The ICS Student Council is made up of elected members of the student body. The Student Council's mission is to be a voice for the student body and offer programs and/or fundraisers that will enrich the school as a whole and ensure that ICS remains a close-knit community of young men and women. The elected members are called first and foremost to be Christ-like examples to their fellow peers. They work hard to improve the school environment and enrich the lives of the student body through programs such as the selling of cookie grams, a school-wide secret santa event, and rose day. Outreach events are also run by the leaders of the student council including the clothing drive, the Christmas Shoebox gift drive, and the various grade-level community service projects offered by the class presidents. It is the hope of the ICS student council that they be positive ambassadors of the school and continue to represent the light and love of God to those around them.
